Coopwood. This book was released on 2021-05-23. Emily's Story available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. I chose to write this book because as I look back over my life, I often wonder why God took a girl of no reputation or knowledge about life and placed her into the hands of a man who thought he had all knowledge and experience for handling his life. He had the ability to manipulate others to fill the deep void in his own life even though he was unaware of it. In the midst of this union between two people of vastly different backgrounds, came the birth of six children. The storms, at times, were fierce and left footprints in the soil of our beings. Yet God orchestrated our lives according to His plan and purpose for each of us. As we journeyed forward, God allowed the grass to gradually grow and cover up the soil causing the footprints to slowly fade. He gradually stripped away those things that held our heart, mind, and spirits captive. Reflecting back, I thank God for bringing me through to this age in my life. Because I can truly see and embrace the reality of His Truth. I know His blessings follow me even when I do not recognize them. I have learned that when you are in a storm, look up to find the rainbow. That is God. As I write this book, many years of experience are now in my past. I hope when you read this, it will draw you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I also hope it will remind you of who truly holds your tomorrows, and nothing is impossible with God. He is always working things out in His own time frame for your good. I wrote this book to give hope and encouragement to the woman who chooses to read it.

It seems incomprehensible that there was a time in America s not-so-distant past that nearly 200,000 children could be loaded on trains in large cities on our East Coast, sent to the rural Midwest, and presented for the picking to anyone who expressed an interest in them. That's exactly what happened between the years 1854 and 1930. The primitive social experiment became known as placing out, and had its origins in a New York City organization founded by Charles Loring Brace called the Children's Aid Society. The Society gathered up orphans, half-orphans, and abandoned children from streets and orphanages, and placed them on what are now referred to as Orphan Trains. It was Brace s belief that there was always room for one more at a farmer s table. The stories of the individual children involved in this great migration of little emigrants have nearly all been lost in the attic of American history. In this book, the author tells the true story of his paternal grandmother, the late Emily (Reese) Kidder, who, at the tender age of fourteen, became one of the aforementioned children who rode an Orphan Train. In 1906, Emily was plucked from the Elizabeth Home for Girls, operated by the Children's Aid Society, and placed on a train, along with eight other children, bound for Hopkinton, Iowa. Emily s journey, as it turned out, was only just beginning. Life had many lessons in store for her lessons that would involve overcoming adversity, of perseverance, love, and great loss. Emily's story is told through the use of primary material, oral history, interviews, and historical photographs. It is a tribute to the human spirit of an extraordinary young girl who became a woman a woman to whom the heartfelt phrase there s no place like home, had a very profound meaning.

Download and read online ebook Collecting Shakespeare write by Stephen H. Grant. This book was released on 2014-04-26. Collecting Shakespeare available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The first biography of Henry and Emily Folger, who acquired the largest and finest collection of Shakespeare in the world. In Collecting Shakespeare, Stephen H. Grant recounts the American success story of Henry and Emily Folger of Brooklyn, a couple who were devoted to each other, in love with Shakespeare, and bitten by the collecting bug. Shortly after marrying in 1885, the Folgers started buying, cataloging, and storing all manner of items about Shakespeare and his era. Emily earned a master's degree in Shakespeare studies. The frugal couple worked passionately as a tight-knit team during the Gilded Age, financing their hobby with the fortune Henry earned as president of Standard Oil Company of New York, where he was a trusted associate of John D. Rockefeller Sr. While a number of American universities offered to house the collection, the Folgers wanted to give it to the American people. Afraid the price of antiquarian books would soar if their names were revealed, they secretly acquired prime real estate on Capitol Hill near the Library of Congress. They commissioned the design and construction of an elegant building with a reading room, public exhibition hall, and the Elizabethan Theatre. The Folger Shakespeare Library was dedicated on the Bard's birthday, April 23, 1932. The library houses 82 First Folios, 275,000 books, and 60,000 manuscripts. It welcomes more than 100,000 visitors a year and provides professors, scholars, graduate students, and researchers from around the world with access to the collections. It is also a vibrant center in Washington, D.C., for cultural programs, including theater, concerts, lectures, and poetry readings. The library provided Grant with unprecedented access to the primary sources within the Folger vault. He draws on interviews with surviving Folger relatives and visits to 35 related archives in the United States and in Britain to create a portrait of the remarkable couple who ensured that Shakespeare would have a beautiful home in America.
